I met one of my best friends back in 2003 when I started working at a Waldenbooks in the Kalispell, Montana mall. Her name is Lisa. We bonded over our love of fiction <g> particularly romance. I introduced her to Sherrilyn Kenyon…. I think. It was a long time ago. 😛

We have been friends through thick and thin, job changes and moves and she’s turned me on to so many great books. That’s what friends do right? Share the book goodies! Lisa told me to read Ilona Andrews and Ann Aguirre among others. She’s the girl I call to get the scoop on what she’s read and to *squee!* about books we both love.

Oh! She’s also my convention buddy! We’ve been to the Romantic Times Book Convention 5 times, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2012. 😉 We really get into the costuming and plan for months. I am looking forward to our next adventures. I can’t wait to start sharing more of her book reviews her on The Book Tart! Click HERE to see her first review.

Here’s my girl Lisa ,the Maid of Tarts avatar

Ummm, lol she came up with the Maid title. Seriously! When we were getting ready to go to the Romantic Times Book Convention last spring and I was just starting The Book Tart… She know how much of a spaz I can be and how I get so excited about meeting authors that I forget things and, this is very important… how lost I get! I have a broken navigation system and can’t read a map. Books yes… Maps? Nope. So I start to panic when I look at hotel convention maps. She has learned to keep me calm and on track. Hence the Maid of Tarts designation. 😀 I adore her so much!

♥Dream destination: anywhere there is a beach, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, South America

♥Superpower you wish you had: the ability to hear, talk to, and understand animals

♥ Favorite genres: all of them but leading the pack at the moment are urban fantasy, paranormal & contemporary romance

♥ A few fav books… Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews because Kate & Curran finally get it together by getting togetherJ, Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh because it’s where I was first introduced to the Psy/Changeling world, Birthright by Nora Roberts cause it’s all about Archaeology, murder, and love, Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness because it’s just a really really great book.

♥A quote or two: When I get a little money I buy books; and if there is any, I buy food and clothes
